Belgian Air Force SAR demo by night
During the torchlight parade in Westende on 29 August, the NH90 helicopter stole the show with an impressive demonstration. The advanced military helicopter, which is used for both SAR and maritime missions, demonstrated its versatility by performing spectacular manoeuvres over the coastline. The sound of the powerful rotor blades filled the air as the NH90 moved smoothly and in a controlled manner through the air. The demonstration offered spectators a unique opportunity to admire the capabilities of this high-tech helicopter up close, making for a memorable moment during the event.

Sweet dreams are made of this, these moments should be cherished. We are privileged to have fun while practising our job. Very good collaboration with rescue De Panne to practice precision hoistings with them. Unique footage take from the jetski.

Here are images of the Belgian Air Force NH90 NFH SAR helicopter that was called upon to assist in a diving accident. The boat in question was located approximately 20 kilometers offshore. Due to the small size of the boat and the need for the pilot to maintain visual contact, the hoist was performed at a very low altitude. This caused a significant downwash on the water and the boat. After our...

Here are some great images captured during a training flight where we collaborated with the De Panne rescue service. Joint training is essential for both teams, and this time we practiced winching on a jet ski. Although this specific operation doesn’t have direct operational value, it plays a crucial role in coordinating the crew members, particularly between the pilot and the cabin operator. D...

Skills and mutual trust form the cornerstones of successful collaboration and effective teams. Skills refer to the knowledge and expertise that individuals bring to a group. These competencies are essential for achieving common goals and solving problems. However, skills alone are not enough. Trust in each other is equally important. It ensures that team members can communicate openly and hones...

Enjoy unique footage taken inside the cargo of ex Belgian Air Force Sea King RS02. The footage shows the crew at work while performing a hoisting with a dummy and fly by with the Belgian flag. As this is a historic helicopter, hoisting with a real person is not allowed for safety reasons. It is a huge privilege to still be able to do this as an ex-flight engineer. Sea King RS02 is now owned by ...

Large container ships often have limited space left to carry out hoist training. We usually do find a small corner so we can still carry out our training. Notice especially how far the hoist cable is blown behind the helicopter with winds up to 45kts ( 83Km/hr).

This year's Open Door at Koksijde Base will focus on 10 years of NH90 NFH and 50 years of 40SQN. Here is a preview of what you can expect (subject to change) from aircraft. There will of course be much more to see on the ground such as booths and demonstrations from our partners.

Cooperation between the various crewmembers is paramount to getting everyone safely on board. In this video, you can see nicely how the cabin operator guides the pilot through obstacles via voice marshalling so that both staff and stretcher get safely on and off the ship. Teamwork of the highest level.

Wind turbine farms are on the rise and the likelihood of incidents is therefore increasing daily. Therefore, to be able to evacuate a person in case of an emergency, we practice on this. It is not natural for an 11-tonne helicopter with a rotor diameter of 16m to hover 100 metres above the water. There is only a 3-metre margin between the main rotor and the blade of the wind turbine.

2024 is the year when the 40SQN Search&Rescue will celebrate its 50th anniversary. Prior to the 40SQN, there was the heliflight which had been carrying out rescues since 1961. The Squadron then flew the Sikorsky S58, Aérospatiale Alouette III, the Westland Sea King MK48 and the NH90 NFH. The Alouette was used for maritime operations.
